  Vialle is the worldwide technological market leader in the field of alternative fuel systems and liquefied petroleum gas systems. Vialle has succeeded in developing an LPG liquid injection system, called the LPi liquefied petroleum gas system. This new technology no longer vaporises the LPG. Instead, the inlet manifold injects it in liquefied form. This allows improved control of the fuel injection, which results in improved performance and optimum combustion. The LPi liquefied petroleum gas system can be deployed in modern direct injection, lean burn and turbo engines. All of the engine’s original characteristics are completely retained. Within Vialle I was commercially responsible for the Benelux, German and Polish market. Show less
